Clubs and Organizations

If you want to fully examine philosophical questions, you need to talk about them with others. Our department has many ways for you to connect with your classmates and others interested in philosophy around the state. 

Undergraduate Philosophy Club

Join us to discover more about yourself and the perspectives of others. We discuss questions like "What is reality?" and "Is there a best life?" in a respectful and relaxed environment. We're open to any major and you can find out more about our meetings on Garnet Gate.

Phi Sigma Tau, the national honor society for philosophy, recognizes and encourages excellence in the study of philosophy. Phi Sigma Tau publishes a journal, Dialogue, containing student essays in all areas of contemporary philosophical research and also produces a newsletter three times per year containing news of local chapter activities. Our chapter is the 140th in the nation.
